C A U T I O

Do not use any media designed for inkjet printers, especially inkjet coated paper and inkjet transparencies. Inkjet media is coated with a substance that will damage the fuser; Tektronix does not furnish service for damage or malfunction caused by the use of non-Tektronix supplies or consumables. Alwa ys use Tektronix media that has been specially designed for use with Tektronix Laser Printers.

■ For the best print quality, load only paper in the PAPER tray and Tektronix

transparencies in the TRANSPARENCY tray.

■ When printing a large number of sheets of paper or transparencies, use the

media-speciﬁc trays for best reliability.

■ If you have the Automatic Duplex/Lower Tray Assembly:

8.5 x 14 in.). Load a single sheet or a stack of media, depending on the media’s type and thickness.

Use the Multi-Purpose Tray to accomplish the following:

■ Print on standard and specialty media
